An Education in Tranquility
My brother-in-law loves to fish.  It’s his way to get away - his own little world, if you will.  My son and his daughter love to go fishing with him.  (I like to go along with my camera).

Travis North http://shutter.antisoc.net/?p=89 We’ve all seen the technical diagrams of your compound lenses. And I’m sure you’ve looked inside your camera at least when you’re cleaning your sensor. But to better appreciate how your camera really works, you really need to look at a camera that has suffered the ill fate of being cut in half. Thanks to Wired’s Gadget Lab, we now have such photographic evidence of what our camera and some of our lenses might look like.

Travis North http://shutter.antisoc.net/?p=88 Another great article from Digital Photography School (I assure you, I do read other sites, but they have so many good articles).   This article is  about different stances and camera holding techniques that you can use to reduce camera shake.  This isn’t about special lenses or anything - this is purely a techniques article that everyone can use.

Read the Article:  How to Reduce Camera Shake - 6 Techniques

PS - I took a little license with the name of my post for clarity reasons.

Tumbleweeds

My wife and son in October, 2007.  At the time, my son was almost two years old.  Trying to get him to sit still (ever) is a challenge.  The fair trade-off is that he’s almost always smiling.

Travis North http://shutter.antisoc.net/?p=86 Just a quick message to let you all know that I may have some sparse postings the next couple of weeks.   It’s project time at my house, which means I’ll be spending a lot of time doing things that aren’t photography.  I do have a few promising images in the workflow, so I will post them as soon as I get an opportunity.  Meanwhile, feel free to browse my gallery and check my back posts.  Or check out some of the fine work by some of the photographers I have linked at right.

Travis North http://shutter.antisoc.net/?p=85 Another great post on Digital Photography School: This time, regular contributor, Jim M. Goldstein garnered some advice from DPS readers in a query he did a few weeks ago. He asked readers to post the best advice that we ever received, and he compiled the top ten tips into one nice article with an appropriate title: 10 Favorite “Best Photo Tips”…By You!

Aside from the fact that one of the selected tips was posted by yours truly, it really is a pretty decent list. I would encourage anyone of any level to visit the list and see if there’s some bit of wisdom they can keep in their minds.

Line in the Sand

Bad weather will not keep kids off the beach.  And sometimes, the extra space allows them to create new games.
